I am a rule follower, yes I am. I am always surprised when I count our kitties. We have TWO according to rules. Their names are Mikey, Harry and Hershey. They look a lot alike and are hard to count and seen only looking out windows I think I can continue to be an...............sigh.........outlaw.

They too have a doggie persona. However, Mikey was one of the Flying Wallendas in a previous life. He is somewhat frustrated in this house because the best he can accomplish on heights is the top of the cabinets. In Cincinnati he does breathtaking tightwire routines from the handrail on the loft...about 20 feet up.

Hershey has his starving cat act perfected to a C. He pushes on you and looks so plaintive and starved, (Although he looks a lot like Fat Albert,) that each of us feel that we must open a can of food for him...which he disdainfully sniffs and walks away.

Harry is a sensitive and sneaky person. He only loves Helene our sweet daughter, the rest of us don't exist. Harry is shy and does not encourage interaction with Sweetie or me or anyone......except when JoJo stops by and then he cannot be welcoming enough, he sits on the arm and back of her chair and puts his head down to be petted.....relentlessly.

Sweetie is the commode master and he has carried a ton of litter. (WEEKLY, he says) He keeps wanting to be promoted, but he is doing such a great job.

I keep agile removing cat hair and wiping things off, so if you want to come over I promise you won't get all hairy. That is Harry's job.
